Chapter 86 87. Falling
"Hey guys, go back and defend, I'm going to hit this shot."

Lin Feng waved at Wagner Kuzma.

This scene was noticed by Kenny. He was positioned very far ahead and could clearly hear what Lin Feng said.

"Look at our 60th pick. He told Kyle and Moritz to give up the offensive rebounds and go back to defense. James has done the same. There is no doubt that Gary Smith is the spiritual leader on the court."

Announcer Kenny told the audience what he saw, and Los Angeles fans were enthralled by their team's rookie.

Who is this guy?Brandon Jennings was so domineering in his rookie season!
The basketball thrown by Lin Feng went into the net, and the big screen above the court became 112-121, with only nine points left.

And there were still 3 minutes left in the game, and the result of the game became suspenseful again.

Lin Feng played 5 minutes and scored 11 points, 2 assists and 2 steals. If he played the whole game, this statistic would be very scary.

But Lin Feng understands that his physical strength to start the prediction for three seconds is only enough to last for 10 minutes, and facing the defense of Lillard's superstars, his efficiency will drop a lot.

But Lin Feng is now full of confidence. Even if Portland's starter returns to the court, he is confident to take the victory from the Moda Center!

Stotts had no choice but to call a timeout again. Their substitute lineup was almost overwhelmed by Lin Feng alone. Stauskas' performance in the second half of the fourth quarter was almost disastrous.

Seth Curry had no threat in front of Lin Feng, and even became a display for him to make fouls.

The Lakers were jubilant, and everyone had to slap Lin Feng.

Big McGee's fist was hard enough to make Lin Feng's back hurt.

James is smiling, sitting on the bench with such a firepower output, he can reduce a lot of troubles.

The Blazers have no choice, they must change to the starting lineup to stabilize the situation.

The Lakers have encountered a problem here. If Walton chooses to remove the substitute and replace it with the starter, what will these young people think?
This is the score we chased back?Why take us down?

How to find a balance in the team is one of the things a team coach has to do.

In the jubilation, Walton told everyone his final arrangement, "Boys, you played very well, this game belongs to you, so I will continue to keep you on the court."

"The opponents will start the lineup, so it will be a test, but I think you can work it out."

As early as before, Walton has communicated with the starters, and he will continue to use the substitute lineup to finish the game.

The starters have no objections, that's how it is on the pitch.If you play well, you can stay on the court.

Wharton just replaced Wagner, who was too physically exhausted, with Big McGee. The latter was tossed by the opponent's Collins and Meyers in turns, and his physical strength was exhausted.

"Let's see your Gary next, I will cheer for you." Wagner put on a towel and smiled.

Lin Feng bumped his fist with him, but he didn't say a word. He wanted to tell everyone with his actions that he was the king of Los Angeles.

When they returned to the court, everyone was stunned, because they saw that the Lakers only replaced Wagner, and everyone else remained on the court.

On Portland's side, Nick and Curry were replaced with double guns in the backcourt, and Lillard, who had clocked in three quarters, returned to the court.

Nurkic and Lehman were still sitting on the court, and Stotts did not knock out all the final cards.

Nurkic has been injured, and the Blazers don't want to take the risk of letting him play.

The Lakers fans at the scene booed, dedicated to Stotts and Lillard on the sidelines.

But this sound was quickly overshadowed by the cheers of the home fans.

After Lillard came on the court, he used a breakthrough layup to stabilize the situation for the team. He is the spiritual leader of Portland. With him on the court, all the tension seems to disappear.

The point difference returned to double digits, and Mikhailuk obviously couldn't resist Lillard's advance.

At two minutes and 51 seconds, Lin Feng controlled the ball and speeded up. Facing McCollum's defense, he obviously felt the pressure.

McCollum is a quasi-All-Star player who once performed the feat of scoring 29 points in 50 minutes in a single game.

The energetic McCollum moved quickly, hardly giving Lin Feng any chance.

What's more deadly is that because of McCollum's defense, Lin Feng made a dribble error, which caused the Blazers to play a quick counterattack. Although they failed to score directly, Big McGee lost a foul.

After the mistake, Lin Feng was very annoyed. He was reflecting on which part of himself went wrong.

McCollum's defense gave him a new experience, which is an All-Star level figure.

If it is in the East, I believe this guy will definitely be able to make it to the All-Star game.

Lillard made one of two free throws, with a gap of 12 points, and another eight seconds passed.

Since the return of the two guns in the backcourt, the game seems to be back in the arms of the Blazers.

"Gary, stay focused." Finsen still believed in him and handed the ball to Lin Feng.

With 5 minutes and 11 points, Lin Feng is the chief contributor to the Lakers' shortening of the gap.

Lin Feng dribbled the ball again and McCollum didn't seem to want to put pressure on him. Time is not good for the Lakers, and they need to score in the shortest possible time.

But Lin Feng's breakthrough could not be converted into an opportunity to attack the basket, and McCollum stuck to him like a gum.

Snow!The more anxious you are, the more flustered you become!
The conscious world is confused with the real world!
After several passes, Lin Feng's hasty shot failed, and Lillard took off the rebound to signal his teammates to slow down.

The time is about to enter 2 minutes, 12 points, the Lakers are getting farther and farther away from victory.

After the debut of the double guns in the backcourt, the much-anticipated Lin Feng suddenly misfired and suffered continuous setbacks on the offensive and defensive ends.

Lin Feng fell into a low ebb, and the entire Lakers also faced scoring difficulties, but Stephenson scored two points with his showy operation.

114-128!

Lin Feng glanced at the big screen, and suddenly the game entered the countdown.

The fans in Los Angeles are quiet. The superstar Gary Smith they rely on has shown his true form under the strict defense of the McCollum team!
Stotts smiled, Lillard will always be the most reliable part of the team.

Luke Walton didn't speak, maybe he was thinking about whether he was wrong for not removing the substitute at a critical moment.

In the last 3 minutes, Lin Feng didn't score a point and made two turnovers as if he had changed.

The final whistle sounded and the score was fixed at 116-132.

The Trail Blazers at home won the game by 16 points.

Lillard stood in the middle of the court and enjoyed the cheers of the fans. He scored a double-double of 32 points and 12 rebounds. He stood up at a critical moment for the team and controlled the game.

In contrast, the lonely Lin Feng scored 5 points from 11 minutes to 3 points in 0 minutes. He thought he should go home and watch the replay of the game all day.

Snow!That McCollum guy locked himself in and he had to find a way out, and that's where he needs to improve.

"Hey buddy, we're doing our best." Stephenson threw his arms out and gave him a hug.

Lin Feng just wanted to leave the cheering Moda Center and go back to the locker room to be alone.

"Gary! It's an honor to lose."

A voice stopped him, it was Lillard, he gave Lin Feng a hug, and told him he was doing great.

After a brief verbal exchange, Lin Feng quickly returned to the locker room.
